Proverbs 1:27-32

²⁷When sudden wretchedness falleth in, and perishing befalleth as (a) tempest; when tribulation and anguish cometh up on you.

²⁸Then they shall call me, and I shall not hear (or but I shall not answer them); they shall rise early, and they shall not find me.

²⁹For they hated teaching, and they took not the dread of the Lord, (For they hated instruction, and they chose not to fear the Lord, or and they chose not to have reverence for the Lord,)

³⁰neither they assented to my counsel, and they depraved all mine amending. (nor would they assent to my advice, and they have spurned all of my correction.)

³¹Therefore they shall eat the fruits of their (own) way; and they shall be filled with their (own) counsels.

³²The turning away of little men in wit shall slay them; and the prosperity of fools shall lose them. (This turning away by those with little wit, or with low intelligence, shall lead to their own slaughter, yea, the prosperity of fools shall bring about their own destruction.)
